While some fans shared their excitement to read her latest, many were left shocked after they saw the image.

One fan told her to “eat something” and questioned if she was “having a nervous breakdown.”

Others told her she looked really thin.

The 43-year-old responded to the image on the Elvis Duran and the Z100 Morning Show earlier today.

“The way that my body was, it made me look like I was a skeleton and it became this whole Internet thing yesterday, that I’m anorexic and all this crazy stuff," she said. "So if I hadn’t posted the picture, then that would never happen, so someone said you have to really be careful about everything you post.

"Yes, in some circumstances you do but if I start filtering myself and being so careful walking on eggshells with everything I say or post, I won’t even be me or be on this radio show or on that television show, or as successful as I am. So this is who I am, and sometimes you make mistakes!”

This is hardly the first time Bethenny has caused body controversy on social media. Back in July, she posed in her 4-year-old daughter Bryn’s pajamas and posted the snap on Instagram.
